In Zionism, the late Nathan Rotenstreich traces the dialectical connections between Zionism’s past and present based on his contention that the Jewish nation comprises both the State of Israel and the Diaspora. He also addresses relations between both Israel and the Diaspora, on the one hand, and Israel and the Arab world, on the other. Written a short time before Rotenstreich’s death, Zionism can be regarded as his spiritual and ideological legacy.

The Rosicrucian Manifestos were two documents of unknown authorship written in the early 17th century in Europe. They purported to announce the existence of a hitherto unknown esoteric order, the Brotherhood of the Rose Cross, to the world. The Fama Fraternitatis and the Confessio Fraternitatis as they were known, caused an immense furore across Europe with their esoteric imagery and call for a universal spiritual and cultural reformation across the continent. To this day controversy continues whether they were a hoax, whether the Order of the Rose Cross really existed as described in the Manifestos, or whether the whole thing was a metaphor or ludibrium disguising a movement that really existed, but in a different form. Since their publication and translation into several different languages the idea of the Rosicrucian movement and the image of the Rose Cross itself have never gone away with many modern Rosicrucian organizations claiming spiritual filiation with the original Order, such as the Rosicrucian Fellowship and the Lectorium Rosicrucianum, or claiming an historical heritage, such as AMORC.

Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, boasted: “A power over a man’s subsistence amounts to a power over his will.” His object… was to place the States under such obligation as to insure their support in the establishment of the first Bank of the United States. The State’s war debts amounted to over eighteen million dollars, not all the States had debts to be taken over. Thus started the political precedent of perpetual debt and required contributions (taxes) to be passed on to those not responsible for the debt.

Congress agreed to give the bankers exclusive rights to all business done in the United States. All loans were guarantied [sic] by the American people with repayment to be made through the payment of taxes.

It is curious that in Israel the Khazar’s history is only briefly mentioned in schools in Israel. “Letters to the Khazar” by Jehuda Halev is studied, but more as a literary piece that in context with the Khazars. That is the reason that the book was so interesting: It presents a theory which is quite unacceptable to the religious population in Israel. (and outside as well). Are all the eastern european Jews in essence converts? It makes the whole question, so much dealt with in Israel, of “who is a Jew” rather ironical. Are the religious Jews the “real” Jews? And how can they be so much against conversions to judaism, if they themselves are converts? Interesting! Of course, the theory the book presents that ALL the east European Jews are descendants of the Khazars is only a theory, but Koestler surely presents some interesting arguments! Fascinating reading!

Is the Sphinx of prehistoric origin, more than 12,000 years old? Why was it built? In this provocative, rigorously argued report, revisionist Egyptologists Hancock (The Fingerprints of the Gods) and Bauval (The Orion Mystery) join forces to answer these questions and more as they examine the Message of the Sphinx and its relation to the other monuments of the Giza plateau.

[D]id Wicca exist as a coherent creed, a distinct form of spiritual expression, prior to the 1940s; that is, prior to the meeting of minds between the old magus and venerable prophet of the occult world Aleister Crowley, and the first popularizer, if not outright inventor of modern Wicca, Gerald Brosseau Gardner?

Volume 2: Higgins’s magnum opus, Anacalypsis, An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis; or, an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations, and Religions is a monumental work, and has been described as the first large-scale attempt at a synthesis of religion and science. Anacalypsis is a review of the history of religions; however, due to his death Higgins was unable to complete the final chapter on Christianity.

Among the many unusual theories presented in this book is that both the Celtic Druids and the Jews originated in India \u2013 and that the name of the Biblical Abraham is really a variation of the word Brahma, created by shifting the last letter to the beginning: Abrahma. Higgens used the term, “Pandeism” to describe the religious society that he purported had existed from ancient times, and at one time had been known throughout the entire world.

These pages present a complete transcription of the 1655 edition of Robert Turner’s English translation of (pseudo-) Henry Cornelius Agrippa’s Of Geomancy, a Latin treatise on geomancy that dates from the late 16th century and forms part of the (probably spurious) fourth book of Agrippa’s Occult Philosophy.
